Learning objectives

Knowledge and ability to understand: Through the front lessons held during the course, the student will acquire the methods and knowledge necessary to understand the working principles, the performances of the measuring instruments and their application fields.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
Through practical classroom exercises, students learn how to apply knowledge acquired in a real context of design, as well as in multidisciplinary or non-familiar areas.

Judgment autonomy:
The student must be able to understand and evaluate critically the operation and performance of the various instruments / systems / measurement chains in order to identify the most appropriate application solutions.

Communication skills:
Through lectures and discussion with the lecturer, the student acquires the specific vocabulary inherent to the world of measurement. It is expected that, at the end of the course, the student will be able to convey, in oral and written form, the main course content such as ideas, engineering problems and their solutions.

Learning ability:
The student who has attended the course will be able to deepen his or her knowledge of metrology and sensor technology, even outside the topics covered in class, in order to deal effectively with problems in the world of work or undertake further training.

Teaching methods

Didactic activities are lectures regarding theoretical basis of metrology and basic principles of measurement instruments.
Slides as support for lectures will be weekly uploaded on Elly platform. To download the slides, enrolment to the course is mandatory. Slides are considered part of didactic material. It is worth remembering to non-frequenting students to check information and materials provided on Elly. The professor is available for clarifications about the lectures by appointment (via email).

Assessment methods and criteria

Written test involving multiple-choice questions on theory and exercises. The test is graded on a 0-30 scale. The test is considered passed with an overall mark of at least 18 points. Online registration for the appeal is MANDATORY.
